Markets in Torremolinos
Malaga, Andalusia · 3 markets tracked
Torremolinos has three weekly street markets, and all three of them set up on a Sunday. Two of the three also trade on a Thursday, so a week in the town gives you two chances at a market morning rather than one. Stalls are up by 09:00 and start packing away around 14:00, which makes this a morning errand rather than an afternoon one.
There is no covered food hall here. Every market in Torremolinos is an outdoor one, pitched fresh on open ground each trading day and cleared by mid-afternoon.

Where to stay in Torremolinos
Staying in Centro puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets and the seafront, making it the most practical base for a 09:00 start. The Hotel Miami is a characterful option close to the centre, while the Hotel Tropicana sits right on the beach on the Bajondillo strip.
If you prefer a quieter spot, La Carihuela is a short stroll from the centre and has a more relaxed, local feel, with plenty of good restaurants to round out your day after the markets.

Market days in Torremolinos
Sunday is the busiest market day in Torremolinos, with all three markets trading at once. Thursday is the other day worth knowing, when two of the three set up. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday have no market of their own, so a midweek stay that misses Thursday means a short trip along the coast instead.
The Málaga province markets page shows what trades on each day in the surrounding towns. The Torremolinos tourism website covers local shopping more broadly.
Street markets in Torremolinos
All three of the town's markets are street markets. The largest is the Torremolinos Traditional Market at around 70 stalls, which is the one to aim for if you want the widest choice in a single visit. The other two are smaller and more specialised, one leaning towards clothing and accessories, the other towards antiques and second-hand books.
Between them the stalls cover fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, meat and poultry, flowers and plants, clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, jewellery and handicrafts. Days, stall counts and locations for each one are listed on the street markets in Torremolinos page.

What time is the market in Torremolinos?
Markets in Torremolinos open at around 09:00 and finish at 14:00. Traders are still setting up for the first half hour, and the fruit and vegetable stalls thin out well before the end, so mid-morning is the sensible time to arrive if you want both the produce and the room to walk.
Is there a market in Torremolinos on a Thursday?
Yes, two of the three weekly street markets in Torremolinos trade on a Thursday, opening at around 09:00 and winding down by 14:00. The third runs only on a Sunday, which is the town's busiest market day, when all three are open at the same time.
